Mitac mio 168 problem

Hi
I took the memory card out of my mio168 while it was on, the screen kinda flashed and went white.
I switched it off and on rebooted it and heres what happens:
when switched on you get a glimpse of the mio digiwalker page the colours are not correct, the screen then goes white. when the audible sound comes up you get a glimpse of the window mobile page then it goes into lines, on a bright screen.
the unit was pluged into the charger at the time.
Do you think this to do with me removing the card?
do you think its a screen problem?
is it possible to flash the rom on this unit?
is it knakerd?
Appreciate any help on this
Best regards
Wayne

Hi, to replace battery, you need to undo the 4 screws hold the back casing. When these are removed you can open the back, revealing the battery. There is a black plug that pushes into a white socket on the pcb, with 4 wires coming out of it that goes to the battery. Pull this plug out and the battery then comes free. Hope this helps.

I am really not all that familiar with this device so I recommend using the "Ask Me" function for a different expert as you did for me.

I can give you a couple of suggestions. I believe there is a reset pin on the device, find it and press it. Second, try removing the battery and leave it out overnight to reset it. If either works, let me know, otherwise I don't know that much about this problem and either Microsoft or another expert would be able to help you better.

Try to reboot the phone without insert your Sim Card and Memory Card for 3-4 times.Even if there is no result you need to flash/update, so contact mobile tech or follow the instruction what I have given here.This is the best ever other than Updating via PC suit/Ovi suit.

First download and install
Pheonix from this link.Nokia
Phoenix Service Software 2011 - Download secondly Download flash file from this link 2730 file and install it to C / program
files/pheonix.. after finished this installation open pheonix . Inside the
interface at the> top left
<there you see "File" click there and choose "open
file" and then select the approprait Product type i.e
"which is written on the back panel inside the battery of every Nokia(Type
RM-000).After doing this again at the left top count from
"File"1..2..3..the 4th one is "Flashing" press there,
when you click there you'll see three sub-menus, just select the "Firmware
Update" again you'll see another interface. Look at the product code
there should be blank and put your "mouse tool" at the straight end
from the "Product Code" there is a Buttonand
choose the code which is written in the back side of your phone. e.g CODE:0000000.if
the same code does not found just take one which is higher. After this you can
see "Dead phone USB flashing" click that box. Now this is the
last stage... Connect your phone with the USB to your PC and let
the driver install ...wait for a moment.(Ifyour phone working).Lastly after just finished (In case your
phone is Dead, unable to switch on in normal mode start from here)Connect the phone to pc without powering...insert good battery and Click the "Referbish"
button after this, a message will prompt you "press power botton"
etc. insert charger orpress it and wait
until the phone will Restart automatically in normal mode 10-15 minutes. If you
cannot understand just leave a Comment. thanks for visiting fixya. Good
luck.

hey guy ptoblem is not in the sim or battery. it is the memory card who is the culprit.teke out memory card , back up data on computer ,format ihe memory card.now copy the backed up data to memory card again .switch on your phone now and then insert the memory card.Everything is fine now.

I had a similar issue, whereby my phone would turn on for 30 secs then the screen would go white and the phone would switch it self off then on.

After a lot of messing around even throwing the phone around the place. I took out the memory card and the phone worked fine. When I put the card back in, the phone started misbehaving again, so I guess the card is knackered.

I've got the same problem!Cracked my screen and when I tried to replace it with one I bought off eBay I got nothing but a white screen when I turned it on! Returned that screen and got another one from a different seller and still get the white screen. So I'm thinking its not the LCD screen, unless I just have bad luck. The keypad is also new, but now I'm gonna try to replace the ear piece flex cable set, because I can't figure out what else could be wrong with it. The phone powers on and operates as normal calls (incoming/outgoing with texts); I can even hear out of the ear piece.

If you encounter situation like below on your phone,
1. Blank screen phone unable to reboot.
2. Phone only able to boot-up to "Nokia" word screen.
3. Install some program but not able to uninstall it after that.
4. Error messages such as "Child Installer" keeps popping-up.

Do a Full phone formatting on your phone! as steps below,

1. Make sure you have at least 3/4 charge of battery power left.

2. Backup your contacts list and personal files to MMC memory card.

3. Switch-off your phone.

4. Press and hold 3 keys;

Green dial key, * (star key) & no. 3 key and then press the power on/off to swtich on the phone.

Remember, do not let go all of the keys and hold keys until you see a formatting word screen show!
